Morning I

Last night, everybody talked about their inspiration for what they doing now: fighting for their idealism. Yes, the inspiration comes from their mommy. Me too--but I'm speechless, I wanna cry. So, I keep silent. This note for completing the conversation. Actually, I love the way my mother grow us up. She is ordinary person and we are ordinary family--but she is extraordinary mother. She teaches us how to handle everything about house-hold by her-self--we can't pay for assistant to finish this stuff. So, she makes a task for everybody in the house. My brother has to wash plates, my other brother did nanny's task--he play with our little sister and accompany her, and I sweep the floor everyday. This task will be changed automatically--when somebody leave home for study and something like that, the other one will replace him/her. I wash plates when my brother continue his undergraduate, and so does my others brother/sister. This is public task--we have personal task also. We have to wash our clothes by ourselves when we are in junior high school. We just have one choice: we did it. If we don't, we can't go to school while the uniform is still wet or dirty, for example. It's includes about ironing too. For first, I think this is a necessity; nobody assist us, so it's a must to do everything by ourselves. But, when I meet many friends from several regions and family, I changed my minds. They got the same condition, but the treatment is different--almost the women is the busiest people in the house. Wow. I know then that my mother doing something so -called equality before woman and man. I don't know what's in her mind when she decide to share the task for every children--but it's a great idea to do several works without making different between woman's task and man's task. Then, when I meet many person concern on feminism and gender issues, i know what have mother done is a part of feminism, although she never study about that. The challenge now is on her chilren's hand: how to practice feminism in real world. It's ashamed when we, the children, treat women as a half human being while we know about feminism well. Finally, thank's Mom for everything you've done. So sorry for everything we've done..
